I think even Ferrari want to know that.Carl Mccoy wrote: ↑10 May 2019, 16:28Ferrari since Singapore Gp hopeless in slow turns. Nearly half a second in 3rd sector. No mechanical grip? power delivery?
.3 in one sector alone. Although we don't know what they're doing. Long run pace how are things looking?Carl Mccoy wrote: ↑10 May 2019, 16:41Mercedes has a huge advantage in the third sector. Even Red Bull is very far away.
Ferrari is as fast as RBR in S3 which means that they're not particularly slow there. It's just that Mercedes is significantly faster than anyone else.
I think DRS now is a necessary evil and can be fine tuned (DRS zone distance) to make a fair tool. The other two I think need to be approached ASAP. That and maybe bring in 1/2 independent engine suppliers so the championship doesn't revolve around the 4 work teams.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑10 May 2019, 15:59
I am of genuine belief that there's not much broken with the sport. Change the supplier of tyres, lose DRS and take care of wealth distribution.
Both Merc drivers where 2 to 3 tenths per lap up on the Ferraris!
I'm quite fed up of the midfield battles to console myself and not having a non Mercedes fight at the front regularly. I don't mind Lewis winning again as long as it's not in a Mercedes. Just anything for something not as stale as the last 5-6 years please. People like me will always tune in, but when one team endlessly wins, fans switch off. I would not mind bringing the rule changes forward from 2021 to 2020. It's getting exhausting!Big Mangalhit wrote: ↑10 May 2019, 16:57I think DRS now is a necessary evil and can be fine tuned (DRS zone distance) to make a fair tool.

As for this GP, even if it looks like merc domination I hope we still get great fights in the middle like we are always getting this year. I also would enjoy more if FOM would show us all these great battles that are happening and focus less on the front runner when nothing is happening. I hate when there is a last lap battle and they cut to show the winnir doing the last full lap alone at slow pace.
